Health and Safety Protocols at In-Person Walk with Us to Cure Lupus events
The health and safety of our lupus community is the Lupus Research Alliance’s (LRA) highest priority. The LRA will follow all state and local mandates regarding COVID-19 health recommendations at our events.
Safety Precautions
If you’re not feeling well, or have been recently exposed to COVID-19, we ask that you please stay home to protect others from potential infection.
We strongly recommend wearing masks at our events to help protect members of our lupus community who are immunocompromised and therefore at a greater risk for COVID-19 infection. We will have masks available on Walk day for all participants and volunteers. All participants should aim to follow social distance protocols where possible. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout our event.
Mailing Donations to the LRA
We recommend using our online site for donations. If you need to mail checks, please send to the Lupus Research Alliance office: 52 Vanderbilt Ave, Suite 401, New York, NY 10017. Please include “global walk” and your team’s name in the memo line.

Any registered participant that donates or raises $25 or more by Walk day is eligible for a purple drawstring backpack.
Talk the Walk, Wear the Walk! Any registered participant that raises $125 or more by Walk day is eligible for a purple drawstring backpack and a Walk T-shirt.
